[QUOTE="DM-Rocco, post: 4270291, member: 14451"] It is getting much easier to write with the help of many people who are rising to the occasion to send in material. Dang, I didn’t see that I didn’t put resistance is futile or the adventurer in the table of contents. It is still a learning curve on a few things, but this issue turned out much tighter. With myself being able to concentrate on more editing than writing and the addition of 3 new editors, the issue is much cleaner. Also, I finally scored an interior artist to give the magazine a little umf. Robillard’s Tale, if you are wondering, is my own character. When I play, I like to write stories so when I get home from a session I find myself writing bits of the session in a narrative. When I did a survey a lot of people said they didn’t like the short stories in Dragon Magazine so I at first wasn’t going to put in any my magazine. I had an idea that I thought might be a good fit. Robillard’s Tale is my characters story through the Simple Life Campaign. Then, the DM and I add in notes. I include things like why I picked certain feats, why the party did certain actions and I include my character and his progression. The DM includes his notes from the session. In future installments he will include his own custom monsters, magic items and DM notes on why we put the party in certain situations. It is a first of its kind three prong assault that gives the reader a good narrative, PC and DM insight; a comprehensive study of an entire campaign from beginning to end. Of course this is only the first installment, so everything is a bit sketchy at first. I don’t want to give everything away in the first issue. The DM notes are a bit limited on the first installment, our DM had an accident with a car when it hit him at 45 mph, so I let him off the hook to complete it. One thing that didn’t make it into the magazine was a comprehensive campaign building article written by Paul Brazelton, the DM of Robillard’s Tale. He couldn’t get it finished with the accident so the first installment of that article will appear in Issue #2. It is designed to work with Robillard’s Tale. You will be able to see that he practices what he preaches as you read the campaign building article and then see elements of it in Robillard’s Tale. I would be happy to field any questions if anyone has any others. [/QUOTE]
